                        The 
                        female sheep is called an ewe. The young are called lambs 
                        and the male is called the ram. The average life-span 
                        of a sheep is about 7 years.  
                         
                        The sheep is an animal which has a thick coat of fleece 
                        on its body. The horns of the ram is usually curved outward. 
                        Not all rams have horns. There are hornless breeds, too. 
                        In some breeds, even the ewes have horns. The average 
                        life-span of a sheep is about 7 years.
